Like trying to catch a star

A fairly quick post today (note to the world: procrastination = bad), and we're going with something simple, upbeat, catchy, and, maybe most importantly, energizing. I've been in a mood to listen to a certain type of song more often than usual lately--in general, I think we could describe them as modern '80's or early '90's-sampling dance/dance-pop songs with an emphasis on just being ridiculously danceable--Ferry Corsten's "Fire," for example, though good at times, doesn't quite fit the bill for this; it's not quite throw-you-hands-up-in-the-air-and-dance enough. Eric Prydz's "Call On Me," Sunblock's "I'll Be Ready" are both getting there and generally work, Dancing DJs' reworking of "Fading Like A Flower"is good, but probably my favorite of these songs is the one I'm posting today.

Falling Stars--in which the Sunset Strippers take Boy Meets Girl's great late '80's song "Waiting For A Star To Fall" and make it a complete anthem. For what? Well, dancing, I guess, but just about anything you want it to soundtrack. Yeah, part of a sampling battle back when it came out in 2006 (Cabin Crew also released a song sampling "Waiting For A Star To Fall" around the same time)--this is the one I love, though.

To buy Sunset Strippers' single "Falling Stars," go here (physical) or here (digital).

Next up: I'm not sure. But I do know the edit/clips of Enrique's "Tired Of Being Sorry" video they showed on America's Top Model today--the ones with the models in it--are definitely not in the original. I wonder...what's the point in refilming (for Enrique) if the single's already been released everywhere it's going to be released? Does that mean it's getting a U.S. release? I haven't bothered looking it up, but last I heard we were getting "Somebody's Me"--heck, he even got a guest spot singing the Spanish version of it on another TV show earlier on. "Tired Of Being Sorry" is by far the better song, but I don't really expect anything on the album to take off here...sadly. Wish something would.
